Hi There,
I have a column which contain alphanumeric values:
aab123
add234
cdf423
dej553
edg543
If I try to return records between these values 'a' and 'e' it will only go as far as d. (first letter)
aab123
add234
cdf423
dej553
This is true if I use where value between a and e
Or if I use greater than equal to operators
Any help would be great.
Thanks

We have account numbers that are string values, looking like: "01.02.02.00.0040.000.000".
We need to parse individual segments and pull out a range of values treating the segment like an integer. For example we would like all accounts that have the fifth segment ranging in values from .0040. through .0060. inclusive.
We've been trying to do something with the like clause: LIKE '__.__.__.__.[0-0][0-0][4-6][0-0]'.
We want 40 through 60 but we're getting 40, 50, and 60. If we change the last bracket to [0-9] we get 40 through 69.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to either fix our like clause or another approach?
Thanks.

I want to run a query that returns say 100 records...but I only want to return first 10 for first page on a web page, then on page 2 the webpage will return rows 11 to 20 of the same SQL statement...page 3 returns rows 21 to 30 rows etc....(eg. like Google or bulletin boards, browsing auctions in ebay etc.).
I could probably get my application logic to handle this (ASP.net), for instance I could possibly get a datareader to skip the first 10, output the next 10 then stop for page 2 (records between 11 amnd 20) but is there way to do this in SQL Server at the database level using an SQL Statement?
I can use TOP 10 to get the first set of records for the first page eg.
SELECT TOP 10* FROM Suppliers
...but how do I get between 11 and 20, 21 and 30 and so on?
I've already mentioned I could handle this in my application logic, but then each time the same SQL Statement is fetching all 100 records, even though the web page will only display a certain range. I'm building an intranet website that can potentially run queries that return 100'000s records, even though initially only top 20 or so records are display, each page they subsequently go to will rerun that same query that returns all 100'000 records. So handling this as part of the query would be better for performancr I reckon.
Someone gave me the syntax..
SELECT *
FROM employees
LIMIT 10,10;
..but it didn't seem to work.
Thanks for any help!!

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a case statement as follows which I am using in the where clause to get today's data

else convert(varchar,(Case when A.Time is null then ''" else B.Time end),103) end)

BETWEEN convert(varchar,getDATE(),103) AND convert(varchar,getDATE()-1,103)
How do I achieve this on a CASE WHEN statement?
Hello all,
I have the following SQL statement that works great for my purpose:
SELECT DATEADD(hh, DATEPART(hh, Date), DATEADD(d, DATEDIFF(d, 0, Date), 0)) AS TimePeriod, AVG(ZNT) AS Expr1, AVG(SAT) AS Expr2, AVG(RAT) AS Expr3,
AVG(RH) AS Expr4
FROM HVACValues
GROUP BY DATEADD(hh, DATEPART(hh, Date), DATEADD(d, DATEDIFF(d, 0, Date), 0))
ORDER BY TimePeriod
I'd like to do everything above but add to display only those records from 1/1/07 to 1/7/07...so a week's worth.
I'm no SQL expert but I assume that I'd add 'WHERE TimePeriod = ....' Any help is much appreciated!
Thank you very much.

I have referenced several texts, but have not found a solution. Even being pointed in the right direction would be greatly appreciated!!

I'm trying to add a 'change password' control to my site and seem to be having some issues. I have code that works if I statically define what user is displayed on the form, but I cant get it to detect the 'authenticated' user and show them the reset for for that ID.If I take the "+ myid" out of the select statement and just define the username statically the form works properly. Error:System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: The column prefix
'System.Security.Principal' does not match with a table name or alias name used
in the query. Here's a piece of the code that is supposed to detect the current logged in user. However, it gives the error. (some of the code may be redundant but its not causing issues that I can tell) public void InitPage() { IPrincipal p = HttpContext.Current.User; String myid = HttpContext.Current.User.ToString(); SqlServer sqlServer = new SqlServer(Util.SqlConnectionString()); DataTable dt; SqlConnection cnn = new SqlConnection(ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["myconnection"].ConnectionString); SqlDataAdapter cmd1 = new SqlDataAdapter("select * from USER WHERE USER_NAME = "+ myid, cnn); DataTable UIDtable = new DataTable(); cmd1.Fill(UIDtable); User_Id.Value = UIDtable.Rows[0]["ID"].ToString(); dt = sqlServer.USER_SELECT(Util.SiteURL(Request.QueryString["Pg"].ToString()), User_Id.Value);
Hi:
the following is my TSQL command of a job(after passing databaseName, I don't want multiple steps, just with 1 step)
--===================================
BACKUP DATABASE ABC To Backup_ABC_1 with init, name = 'Backup of 1(M, W, F ) Job_ABC_1Mon' go backup log ABC with truncate_only go print 'shrinkdatabase begin-- ' dbcc checkdb(ABC) go dbcc shrinkdatabase(ABC, 10)
Issue: with 3 'go' inside the whole line, execution failed. after replace 'go' with 'begin' and 'end' for each sql statemet, the execution works. Someone could explain why 'go' as a batch does not work in this situation?
also, is this a good practice to
1. truncate_only
2. dbcc checkdb
3. shrinkdatabase
after a daily backup?
thanks

I have a table called evidence, which has the following Fields
| evidence_id | Description| Standards|
E001 blagh 1.1,1.2,1.3
Ok I am trying to search the comma-separated string in the standards field using the like clause so I can display the evidence_id.
SQL looks like
SELECT Evidence.Standards, *
FROM Evidence
WHERE (((Evidence.Standards) Like '%1.1%'));
However it will not search through the list and select for example if I change 1.1 to 1.2. The commas wont allow it.
It works if I just have one item in the list that is just 1.1. Can anyone help me to search a comma-separated string for a certain string?
Thanks

I'm trying to run a SELECT statement to get two different values from a field that looks like this:
"Sample text [123], Sample text 2 [345]"
The two values I'm trying to grab has to be after the last comma. So in this case, I need to get
Value 1: 345
Value 2: Sample text 2
Is this possible to do? I can't create functions to accomplish this.
is there a way to have a select statement which compares a value is like ('%a%','%b%','%c%','%d%','%f%','%l%')
so :
select address
from customers
where address like ('%a%','%b%','%c%','%d%','%f%','%l%')

Hi,
I have a textbox,in which I am allowing user to write the username starting with,user should enter minimum 3 characters, atleast,and when they enter that information, all the names starting with those 3 characters shouls be shown.can any one help me in this.

"select username from registration where username like '" + TextBox1.Text + "%'";

Hi folks
I've just set up a maintenance plan that backs up all user databases daily and logs hourly. I've just noticed that the plan history is giving the following error -

I'm using sys.dm_db_missing_index_details to find missing indexes on a database that is currently in testing. After running a bunch of our reports, there are several suggested indexes on 3 or 4 columns that have 15 - 20 included columns. The included columns are mostly varchars ranging from 1 to 150 characters along with a couple of date columns. My index size on that table is already nearly twice the size of the data.
I don't think it's a good idea to add an index with that many columns, but the information I've read on included columns is very general. I'm wondering if there is something about them that I don't understand that would make this a good idea.
Is there a way I can have all entries in a table automatically in caps once entered by user, import or any other way ?
Thanks a lot in advance.

Folks,
what script must I use, as a part of CREATE TABLE, to automatically convert characters to UPPER case on insert?
I wrote <CHECK (country = UPPER (country)> in the CREATE TABLE, which was wrong,
because the values were still in the lower case.
The sample script is:
CREATE TABLE address
(street varchar(40),
city varchar(20),
state char (2),
zip varchar (10),
country varchar (20))
When a user types "Canada", I want the inserted value be "CANADA"
Any help is greatly appreciated.
I was wondering what more experienced DBAs have observed with regard to the capacity of a MSSQL DB. Is there an upper threshold of rows where performance becomes unacceptable? I have a fairly slow, but constant input rate of approximately 2,000 rows every 60 seconds or so (that is a little high, but I'm interested in worse case scenario here). That is up 172,800 rows a day. (I'm being overly pessimistic here.) We'd like to be able to keep all of this around as long as possible.
Or would a more heavy duty DB be in order for these sorts of data rates?
Hi expert, I would like to ask regarding the UPPER function in SQL Query. I was tryin' to create a scipt that will give me a result of all the names that are in UPPER case format, but when I tried to execute the script the result is not right, it also retrieves all the records that are in PROPER case.
SQL Script:
SELECT id, name FROM table_1 WHERE UPPER(name) LIKE 'DAR%'
Result:
ID NAME
-- -------

2 DARREN
Table :Employee
name Age
'ARUN KUMAR' 30
name column should be displayed
as Arun Kumar
'A' and 'K' need to be upper can i know what function to use??
I am new to SQL and, unfortunately, actually do my work in Access 2003, but I have a question.
This is an example of what the data I am working with looks like:
AALADIN
AA-TACH EH65X, EH65V (V-Twin)
AA-TACH w/Robin 20 & 20.5 h.p. OHV
AA-TACH w/Wisc.-Robin EY21
ABI CONTRACTOR w/Honda 20 h.p. (V-Twin)
The all caps text strings at the beginning of the field need to end up in a separate field than the mixed strings, and the mixed strings need to stay together. The field length varies, as do the lengths of the all caps text strings. There are a lot of records, so I would be interested to know if there was a way to proceed without manually editing each line.
